[Dee]

By 'other clear stuff' I mean those Salps and other interesting clear things we see at our safety stops.

Here is a jelly fish I saw Sunday. It was about the size of a 50 cent piece (for those of you old enough to remember).

I think this is a first I moderated a Senior Regulator - Dee I think you meant to put this here

Anyway - how do you take photos of Jellies? Next to eels it is the sinlge most difficult for what look like "easy" shots (i.e. I am not saying macro stuff is more easy!!)

Yep, Dee, they sure do. The "yolk" is the gonads.

What did I do...start a new thread? I keep saying those two buttons should be seperated!

Jellies can be hard to shoot. I open the aperture and use a fast shutter speed. That is, when I have time to plan a shot. Most of the time, like this one, it was just there passing me in the current so it was take it quick before it disappears!
